What do you mean by "on" rice? On the living plant? Or you mean it's growing in a jar of rice?

A bioluminescent wood nightlight sounds amazing, surely someone sells them

Rice (flour) is a common substrate to grow mushrooms. Make sterilized/hydrated rice cake and inject some spores into it.
I have four bioluminescent petunia houseplants above my bed for that.
I was curious, and here is a video of the product (not trying to push marketing).

Those are the ones. They’re awesome. I put one in a clear pot and the roots glow. https://www.instagram.com/ceejayoz/p/C8_Dgqvuq2C/
